TO ALL WHOM IEP MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I, AUGUSTUS S. LESNER, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk, and State of Mnssnchusetts, have invented a new and usefulImproved Mop-Wringcr; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operution of'the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a.purt' of this specication, which is a view of' the apparatus inisometric perspective.

This invention consists in arranging upon the sides of a pail or bucketa pair of bent levers, united to a i treadlo by connecting-r ds andcarrying-rollers, which extend, across the top of pail, between 'whichthe mop is compressed and rolled. 4

i A is a platform, to which is fastened the bucket B. To the sides ofthis bucket are attached at z' the bent levers e, carrying the rollersff', and attached by connecting-rods d to treadle C. This treadle israised by a spring, h, either placed beneath or in the hinge, or in someother suitable place, es between the ends` of the levers e When itisdesired to wring a mop, the threads or cloth of it are passedbetweeuthe rollers ff', the treadle i O is depressed by the foot,bringing the rolls together -with any desirable pressure, and handle gbeing revolved in the direction of the arrow, the mop is at once Wruugand cleared from the rollers. rlhere is no danger of oversetting thisapparatus, because of the broad base given by platform A, aud it is esreadily/ moved from place to place as a common pail.

I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patenty Thearrangement, in connect-ion with a pail or bucket placed upon n.platform, as shown, of levers e, carrying rollsff, and attached totreafdle C by links al, all operating together with each other, and incombination with the reaction-spring h, as and for the purposedescribed. i I
